Black quad headlights

Those look mess up, like the light is pointing in the wrong direction

These are the spyder projectors. That glare...

Are you running led's, hid's or halogens and how are they pointing? Those do seem off.

Those aren't mine. They're a pic I found when I was researching whether or not I wanted to get the after market projectors. I'm not entirely sure what bulbs he's running. Judging by color id say they're hid or led rather than halogen. The cutoff looks pretty good on them but then whatever that glare is up top

If you wait and smart shop you can find factory projectors for under $100/each. I paid $65 for one and $78 for the other. Those prices are shipped too, but I guess I cant talk price after I dropped $350 on retroing a set of FXR's and a HID kit...

One had a mount inside that got busted somehow. Was an easy fix with some JB weld. You just have to look. It took me about a month to find both of them.

Those are terrible. I'll post my led's next week and then we can see how they compare

I don't know that I'll upgrade to projectors, but if I do it's gonna be a ways down the line. I have other things that I'd like to do first. My primary goal in changing the lights was aesthetics, I just didn't like the chrome lights. Obviously I have a dark truck and they looked out of place. While better light output is always welcome, the stock quads are ok for me.

While I'm sure plenty of people are happy with the aftermarket lights, the reviews I've read on several of the larger aftermarket parts sites would seem to indicate it'***** or miss on satisfaction and reliability. My son had some on his 2nd gen and they sucked. I really didn't want to take the chance.

Everyone has their own opinion on what they want. I didn't feel comfortable rolling the dice with the aftermarket lights. OEM lights have to meet standards the copies don't. I would have been fine with the TYC projectors, as they are certified by NSF, but they would have been double the price and I'd have still had to get an adapter at an additional cost.

I can certainly roll the savings over into other mods and still have the look that I want with the quads. I bought what I was confortable with and I'm happy with my choice. To each his own.

You are right on. It's about what you want and what meets your needs. I like the look of those quads and again it's about what you like not me or anyone else.
It's nice to have a forum where we can show what we've done and to get opinions from others. But, at the end of the day it is our own opinion that matters.
Great looking truck and love those lights...

I just got my Mopar OEM black quad headlights and got them installed. I know most people swap to the projectors, but it just wasn't in my budget right now. I wanted to have a more blacked out look on the front end and get rid of all that chrome. I think these lights do a pretty good job. The lights were $120 each and a direct replacement.

Nice, I might do mine today. May I ask what I need? Size sockets? I dont do good with handling any plastics, seems to be an adhd thing. I ALWAYS break something permently. That is why I have hesitated. Pulling the grill does not sound like my type of job. Pulling something off metal works.

Do I need to pull any plastic rivets?

10 mm is the only size you'll need. Preferably a socket and a ratcheting wrench is easiest. There's a thread on here that goes into detail but it's super easy. Literally 20-30 mins start to finish if you're just swapping headlight assemblies.

 

[lonestar21]

Truck looks awesome with those lights

 

[Limeybastard]

No. You can find cheap copies on eBay. These are OEM lights direct from the manufacturer. I didn't want the lights that everyone complains leak and fog up, so I was willing to pay for OEM quality.

Don't mean to **** on your parade. But did you say oem quality headlights ?(chuckle ) .

One plastic rivet inside the fender well on a little access panel, behind the panel there is a little locking tab that has to slide up to remove the light
